dwarf Coral Beauty OK with fire shrimp/cleaner shrimp?

[ElevenEleven]

Just ordered this fish online, and realized he might not be 100% with the fire shrimp i just got/cleaner shrimp i ordered. Does anyone have any experience with coral beautys and shrimp? thank you in advance.

I have a coral beauty in my tank over 6 months, he is close to 3" now and never had a problem with him with my shrimp.

I've had my coral beauty for 6 years, with coral banded, cleaner, and blood shrimp....no problems

.

y should u be worried?

does the same apply with a flame angel? I'm thinking of tossing a couple of cleaner shrimp in there.. =)

dwarf angels have no problems with cleaner shrimp, thats y i asked...wrasses do..they do however have a tendency to nip at corals, its a hit or miss tho. i have two and no problems.....er at least not yet. if ur going to add a flame angel after the coral beauty then it has to either, go in at the same time as the coral beauty, or when added later it must be larger to lessen the aggression from the coral beauty.

Agreed, I'd be exceedingly surprised if any dwarf angel bothered a shrimp. I mean, these guys eat algae, detitus, encrusting inverts and other sorts of mulm in nature, not shrimp

Got a coral beauty...not a problem with peppermint shrimp.

That's news to me..I have a number of wrasses, never had any issues with them bothering my shrimp..cleaner, blood or Harleys.

No issues with the pygmy angels and shrimp either.

Some wrasses will eat shrimp, but most leave cleaner shrimp alone, and sometimes they only bother shrimp added after the wrasse.

A lot of the larger non-reefsafe wrasses will go right after them, but then that's why they're considered "non-reefsafe"

what jaa said, an uncle of mine (i used to watch his tank thats what got me into the whole reef hobby) has a Six line, and its killed quite a few of his shrimps, never skunks tho, just peppermints, and fire shrimp (Ive witness it chase and attack them). oddly enough the 6 line jumped into one of the tank over flows, my uncle didn't know, thought he was dead, and took the opportunity to add the shrimps i.e. the fire and peppermint. 2 weeks later he finds the wrasse, puts it back in the tank and now they are all cool lol.
